The parallel paths of Jordan Lynch, Donovan McNabb
The parallel paths of Jordan Lynch, Donovan McNabb (cont.)
MIAMI -- Nearly two decades separated the careers of Donovan McNabb and Jordan Lynch at Chicago's Mount Carmel High. In the early 1990s, McNabb was so impressive as a triple-option threat that his coaches would make friendly wagers about whether he'd eventually contend for the Heisman Trophy. In the late 2000s, Lynch rekindled memories of McNabb by running the triple-option with verve; he dominated the competition by racking up 1,221 passing yards, 848 rushing yards and 31 total touchdowns as a senior. Neither player, however, received a single scholarship offer from a Big Ten school to play quarterback.
The under-recruited and overachieving career narratives of McNabb and Lynch can be traced back to same Mount Carmel playbook. Both McNabb and Lynch developed under coach Frank Lenti, an old-school triple-option aficionado. Known by those close to him as coach Frank, Lenti has never veered from the veer offense throughout his legendary career.
"No we have not," Lenti said, when asked if he's been tempted to change his approach. "It's been very good to us. In the last 27 years, we played in 15 state championship games."
On New Year's Day, the 61-year old Lenti will watch as his second former quarterback starts in the Orange Bowl. McNabb's illustrious career at Syracuse ended there after the 1998 season, while Lynch will lead upstart Northern Illinois in the game against No. 12 Florida State on Tuesday.
THAMEL: Northern Illinois vs. Florida State: Orange Bowl Breakdown
Yet to fully understand how that happened, it's best to start with Lenti, a high-school lifer who boasts a 326-59 record in 29 years as Mount Carmel's coach. In that time, his triple-option offense has survived eras of football where it's been considered antiquated, cutting edge and antiquated again. "He's still running it," said McNabb with a laugh in a phone interview. "It's just so successful and puts so much pressure on the defense."
Added Ohio State coach Urban Meyer: "He's one of those guys, everyone says [the game has] passed him by and all he does is win games, and then people go back to it. He's one of the most respected coaches in America, high school or college."
Lenti has won 10 state titles. He became the state of Illinois' all-time wins leader in 2011. And he's done it all with a blend of precision timing, concise decision-making and relentless humility. "We're very fortunate," Lenti deadpanned. "We've had a lot of good kids who have overcome the coaching."
Yet Lenti has also found success by emphasizing his system, one that builds the character of his most well-known standouts. Playing for a legend like coach Frank isn't easy; part of the process is enduring a few verbal dress downs. McNabb recalled instances when Lenti had a "spitball hanging on the bottom his lip." Lynch remembered his quick-wit one-liners, such as when Lenti complained that Lynch was "burning daylight" by taking too long to make reads while running the option.
Lenti's system also means players are unlikely to pick a hat off a table on ESPNU, or brag to scouting services about the number of offers they've received. Lenti has sent far more kids to Division III schools and military academies than to major-conference programs, and he stresses that kids should go where they're coveted. (McNabb picked Syracuse over Nebraska; Lynch didn't hold out to get a Big Ten offer his senior year.)
BCS simulations: EA Sports predicts narrow FSU win
Still, looking back, both McNabb and Lynch stress that they wouldn't change a thing. Lynch's father, Jim, said that Jordan considers Lenti "a second father." McNabb loves to come back to Mount Carmel and cut it up with coach Frank, the only person who can get away with calling him "Donnie."
"He still calls me that to this day," McNabb laughed.
Patience is required and gratification isn't instant, but the reward is great. At McNabb's induction into the Mount Carmel Hall of Fame before Lynch's junior year, he parted some advice that Lynch took to heart.
"The biggest thing he said was, 'Believe in the system, and believe in coach Frank,'" Lynch recalled. "'He's going to get you in the right spot.'"
The name "veer" sounds like old-school football, as if the coach should wear a fedora and the quarterback a leather helmet. Lenti's career doesn't stretch quite that far back, but it does span from the era of encyclopedias to the age of Wikipedia. (In fact, Lenti is even mentioned in the "veer" Wiki entry.)
That backdrop is fitting for the relationship that led Lynch to Northern Illinois. Back in the early '90s, Lenti and Jerry Kill were among the regulars who made presentations on the veer offense in the coaching-clinic circuit. Kill won a national title as the offensive coordinator at Division II Pittsburg State in 1991 -- guess which offense he ran? -- and later landed as the head coach at Southern Illinois. He led the Salukis to five consecutive Division I-AA playoff appearances before taking over at NIU in 2007.
The summer before his senior season, Lynch attended a one-day camp at Northern Illinois. Kill liked what he saw, and he called Lenti for the scoop.
"I would take Jordan Lynch in a heartbeat," Lenti recalled telling Kill. "He can give you everything you need to have in a Division I quarterback. Big Ten schools just want to recruit him as an athlete. But Big Ten schools just wanted to recruit Donovan McNabb as an athlete as well."
When looking for a college, Lynch simply wanted to play quarterback, preferably close to home. He grew up in Mount Greenwood, an Irish-Catholic neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago, and was raised in a family that doesn't take things for granted.
Lynch's father, Jim, drives a truck for the city. When he answered his cell phone for an interview on Friday, he was plowing Lakeshore Drive at noon, the 14th hour of a 16-hour shift. "When it snows," he said matter-of-factly, "it's a long day out there." Jordan's mother, Sheila, recently lost her accounting department job when the company she worked at for 26 years decided to move away.
In 2008, when Northern Illinois offered Jordan, Jim called Lenti, who praised his old friend Kill. "Coach Kill and his staff were giddy about getting Jordan," Jim said. "The other schools didn't see too much."
Four years later, Lynch's talent is impossible to ignore.
Lenti knew he had a star in the making when Lynch was a mere varsity backup as a sophomore. At a summer passing camp, Lynch played poorly, prompting Lenti to launch into his old spitball-on-the-chin routine. "I got in his crawl space a little bit," said Lenti, fully admitting that he was using the routine as a test. "He didn't flinch or bat an eye or make a sour-puss face. He kept right on doing what he had to do."
That same unflappability has served him well at NIU. Lynch was a backup for three years before becoming the starter as a redshirt junior this season. He's cycled through four quarterbacks coaches, three offensive coordinators and three head coaches during his Huskies' career. (Following head coach Dave Doeren's hiring at NC State, Lynch is likely to play under a fourth offensive coordinator next year.)
Yet entering bowl season, Lynch's impact is undeniable. He led the FBS in both total yards (4,733) and rushing yards (1,771) after the regular season, stunning coaches around the MAC and the nation in the process. After losing to Iowa in the opener, Northern Illinois rattled off 12 consecutive wins to bust the BCS.
"Everyone in league is looking around saying, 'Where did this kid come from?" said former Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit. "He doesn't look too flashy, but when the lights come on the kid is really impressive. I wouldn't put anything past that kid."
Perhaps most noteworthy, Lynch threw 25 touchdowns to just four interceptions, showcasing his progression from his simplistic high school playbook. Lynch said he entered college having thrown mostly one-man routes on play-action passes. Now, he's running and throwing with aplomb.
And the scariest part? He's still getting better.
"I had to get more comfortable reading coverages, and as the years went on I started to progress more and more," he said. "I still feel like I have a lot more to learn."
McNabb vividly remembers the dance that colleges played with him back in high school. They'd come to Mount Carmel to watch film, and they'd damn his quarterbacking skills with faint praise. "We feel you're a great athlete and have a strong arm and can throw the ball," McNabb recalled recruiters telling him. Yet the compliments were always followed by a "but."
"Then they'd say, 'If you ever want to play receiver or running back, please give us a call,'" McNabb said.
McNabb appreciated the bluntness of some schools, but he used their dismissal as motivation. Nearly 20 years after his recruitment, McNabb is still steamed that Boston College chose to offer Scott Mutryn -- a former highly touted quarterback out of Saint Ignatius High in Cleveland -- instead of him. "They told me I wasn't the passer they were looking for," McNabb said. "Obviously when I was playing Boston College, I looked to terrorize them every year because of that."
McNabb was successful to that end, finishing 4-0 against Boston College in his career. He led Syracuse to the Fiesta Bowl in his junior season and the Orange Bowl in his senior year before eventually becoming the No. 2 pick in the 1999 NFL draft. But before all of that, McNabb pined to play at Illinois, where former Mount Carmel star defensive end Simeon Rice had shined.
While the Illini would have been a logical landing spot for McNabb, they didn't want to recruit him as a quarterback. "It didn't work out for the Fighting Illini after that," McNabb said before mentioning the ill-fated Lou Tepper era. "Coaches were getting fired and people were blaming me for it."
At the time, Lenti went to visit Syracuse's spring practice and saw then-Orange quarterback Marvin Graves. He told Syracuse offensive coordinator George DeLeone -- another old buddy from the clinic circuit -- that he had a similar but bigger version of Graves in Chicago. DeLeone visited Mount Carmel later that year, and he loved what he saw on film. "George saw him in the cafeteria and knew that he was the guy," Lenti said.
McNabb's career took off. Now, it seems Lynch is following a similar trajectory.
From his perch working as contributing analyst for Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, McNabb says he's enjoyed following Northern Illinois and Lynch this season. He can relate to a triple-option quarterback learning to become more complete in college, and he's been rooting for the Huskies to succeed. "I've seen and heard a lot of great things that went on for him," McNabb said of Lynch. "Anytime you can have a guy represent your high school, with the things he's been able to do, that's bragging rights for me."
He then took one final, not-so-subtle jab at the program that once spurned him. "They don't get many Illinois' schools in the Orange Bowl," McNabb said, "including Illinois."
Jim Lynch jokingly alludes to the next generation's great Mount Carmel quarterback. He says nine-yard-old Justin Lynch already displays the traits of his dominant older brother. "He looks like Jordan, and his athletic ability is just like Jordan," Jim said. "I'm glad I get to do this twice."
Justin and Jordan are very close, and Lynch's roommate, NIU offensive lineman Matt Krempel, said that the backdrop on Jordan's computer always shows a picture of his little brother. There's nothing Jordan gets a bigger kick out of than knowing that Justin plays football back home pretending to suit up for NIU. When Jordan does return for breaks, he spends most of his time playing Madden NFL '13 with his brother and throwing the football around with the neighborhood kids.
"When you see the love and the support of the Lynch family, it makes you feel good about where college football is going," said Jeff Phelps, who recruited Lynch to Northern Illinois and now works under Kill at Minnesota.
But for now, its time to embrace the present -- and there's plenty to celebrate. When NIU and Florida State take the field, it will add the next chapter to several parallel journeys. It will add to the legacy of coach Frank, and it will harken back to McNabb's storied Syracuse career. Yet most of all, it will add to the growing legend of the kid from Mount Greenwood, the one who continues to defy the odds during his meteoric ascent.
Next time, when coaches pass through Mount Carmel, they won't discount the routinely overlooked quarterback, no matter how often he runs instead of passes. Scouts won't discount Lenti's longstanding veer offense, not matter how old-timey it seems.
Because if they do, they could pass on a one-of-a-kind talent, the kind who can improbably carry a program -- even one as unlikely as Northern Illinois -- to the Orange Bowl.
Just ask the Big Ten recruiters who came into Lenti's office this spring. They'd sit down, and without a prompt, they'd bring up Lynch's sensational season at NIU. "OK, you don't have to say it," one after another told Lenti. "You told us so."

Our guess is that we'll finally get to see the long over due return of Daryl's older brother Merle Dixon, who was last seen using a hacksaw to sever off his hand, which was handcuffed by Rick to a pipe. Though no one knows exactly what happened to him, it's always been believed that he stole the van that Rick, Glenn, T-Dog and Daryl used to return to Atlanta, and possibly fled the city in it - never to be heard from again...
To further fuel our "cliffhanger" speculation, it has finally been confirmed today that Michael Rooker will appear in the third season of TWD.
During the Lollipop Chainsaw panel at WonderCon - Rooker, who offered his vocal talent to the game, announced to the crowd that his character "Merle Dixon" will indeed be back for the show's third season. While details remained unsurprisingly scant at the moment, the actor did reveal that he lost twenty pounds for his returning role. Interesting...any thoughts on that? Could this have something to do with another character who is described as a twisted psychopath known simply as "The Governor" (David Morrissey) who will also be appearing in season 3?
So what's your verdict? Will Merle make his return at the end of tomorrow night's episode, or will have to wait until next season to see his ugly mug once again?

It is amazing what a year and a kick-up in price range brings in the Computer Speaker business. Last year, I had the chance to
take a look
at the Logitech X-540 speaker package, which retailed at $99. I believe the rating I gave it was a 9.0 of 10.0, with quality and value getting very high marks.
This season, I was given the opportunity to review the new Logitech G51, where I noticed immediate and positive changes even as I unpacked the box. While this is a review of the G51, which is a notch higher on the 5.1 system options, I will be comparing it to the Logitech X-540 as that is my previous reference point.
As I removed the components from the box, I was reminded how well Logitech does at both packing and protecting the components of the products it sells. The G51 was packed in three main sections, with the sub wrapped in cardboard and plastic in the center of the box and the satellites and Control Pod split up between two cardboard boxes flanking it. In addition, any premium (high-gloss/scratchable) surface is covered in plastic cling wrap to prevent it from being scratched or scuffed.
One thing I griped about last year was the fact the X-540 was packed with the speakers in the "wall-Mount" position. Well, a box and packing layout change had the G51 ready to roll with the desk stand position the default setting. While it still posses the innovative quick change controls (loosening a screw and rotating the base to the other position), it was still nice to not have to re-configure the four satellites. Installation was a snap, as everything is color-coded and the extra-long surround speaker cables.
The G51 Control Pod is absolutely the heart and soul of the unit, with complete control over all audio functions at your fingertips. Frankly, it just looks and feels impressive. It is connected to the sub via a special 6-ft cable, and is weighted with non-skid pads to prevent it from falling or being pulled off the desk. The control options are almost unlimited, as power, volume, speaker level, muting, matrix modes and external connections for a mic and headphones are all located on the unit. A definite step up from the X-540 and its volume, bass, matrix and headphone jack.
The volume dial on the G51 is located in the center of the Pod and is surrounded by a lighted volume indicator above and speaker indicator and selector button (for audio level) below. The left side has dual input jacks for both a headphone and microphone along with mute buttons for both audio and mic. The right side has the power and matrix buttons, which has three-way capabilities for gaming, music or off. I noticed that the audio has a variable increase (in relation to the lighted indicator) as you turn the volume up and down.
The Matrix Mode (which controls the surround capabilities) has option for both music and gaming. As we know from the X-540, the matrix mode enhances traditional 2-channel stereo and creates a 5.1 soundfield out of it. I will get into more detail on these modes below in the actual testing.
Logitech has always been innovative with their products, and the G51 is no different. One of the largest trends in computer and gaming is to personalize of customize your gear with skins or graphics. The G51 gets into the act with the ability to customize the graphics on the satellite speakers. The review unit I received was accompanied by several skin samples featuring Crysis, Quake Wars and a couple of generic inserts. Owners can also head out to the web and download and print off their own unique patterns at www.logitech.com/G51skins
After getting everything unpacked and set-up, the natural thing to start testing was my music collection. As usual I broke out "Real World" from Queensrÿche off the 'Last Action Hero' Soundtrack and let it roll. As the song was playing, I immediately notice the full, deep base that the G51 was producing as opposed to the X-540. When I checked the specs, I saw the sub had a frequency response down to 36Hz range, which is quit good for a smaller sized unit, which explained why it sounded so good. I was very impressed with the G51, as it handled all facets the song presents (orchestra, thundering bass, extreme highs) with no obvious signs of strain. I switched over to the Music Matrix mode and wasn't quite as wowed. While it created a nice soundfield, I am more of a traditionalist and like my stereo sound to be coming out of two speakers in nice crisp, clean sound. The Music Matrix mode not only chopped it up, but created a softer sound all-together. Not a terrible thing, just not my style.
To get in some testing while gaming, I broke out Halo 2 (Vista), Shadowrun and Guild Wars as my benchmark games. Having played these games extensively using the X-540's, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they sounded with the G51. Things I was used to hearing (gunshots, background music, environment sounds, etc) seemed to be much clearer and pronounced. And much like the music, the bass was deep and full and worked well across all the titles. I was able to crank the volume up well-above safe listening levels without much distortion. There isn't much else to say, as the unit simply blew me away with the more accurate reproduction of these games that I had ever heard.
I didn't spend a lot of time using the unit for DVD and Video, but I did put in a Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace for the Pod Race. The G51 played it loud and tight and I was happy with the performance. It certainly isn't a stand-alone surround system, but the unit won't disappoint when it comes to move and video playback.

All in all, I was extremely impressed with the quality and sound of the G51. Whether it was music, movie or game playback, it handled everything impressively. The $200 price tag may be a bit much for some people, but until they experience a top-notch audio experience off a PC, they truly don't know what they are missing. Much like the X-540, Logitech has a gem of a speaker system on its hands that provides the flexibility and quality that everyone should demand in their PC speakers.

19 W 31st St, New York, NY | Directions 1000140.747037 -73.987145
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Midtown, Midtown South Central
In the Heart of Midtown, Manhattan, New York City. The Definition of LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Less than 15 Minutes from everything!
The Herald Square Hotel NOW brings you the Best Value Buy in New York City with FREE Wi-Fi, FREE HBO's, an Upgraded Lobby,"4 Star" Beds throughout the Hotel for the Best Night's Sleep in NYC and many Brand NEW Rooms with Flat Screen TVs, NEW Bathrooms and a Coin Operated Guest Laundry Room with a Personal Steam Press!!
Our mattresses are the same luxury quality as in the 4 star hotels. Our Rates are Value/Budget, but our Beds are First class!!!
You may have to ask for shampoo and go without a hair dryer, but these digs are as cheap & clean as they come in this great location.
Herald Square – I loved this hotel when I stayed there a few years ago....it was clean, comfy, has a great location and the price was right. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Harald square – I loved this hotel when I stayed there a few years ago....it was clean, comfy, has a great location and the price was right. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Think before you go – Room is TINY, only bed fits, no space even for luggage. One little window, view of a wall. Next time for 200$ per night I will choose a private apppartmnets to rent.
This place is a fairy tale! – I stayed at the Herald Square hotel just for one nigth, but I will definitely go back soon! The hotel is close to everything I like to see and do in the city. I noticed how every little thing in the hotel´s decoration is well connected to its building history. I loved the chairs they have in the lobby where we can see the street enjoying a warm cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate available to all guests at no cost! The bathroom was very clean with soft and thick towels and aveda´s hand and bath soap. However, the best part of staying at the Harold Square hotel was its comfortable beds and pillows. I went to a concert at Madison square garden, which is just a block or two away from the hotel, and when I came back in the middle of the night I crawled into the bed and slept like a baby! Everything in this hotel was two thumbs up.. from the friendly staff, the complementary coffee, to its great location and rate. I could not ask for a better deal! I definitely recommend this hotel to any one looking for a place to stay in the big apple.
Best Night's Sleep in Manhattan – I spent two nights at the Herald Square hotel and loved it. You can't beat the price, the value, and their comfortable beds. I've done quite a bit of traveling in my day and have yet to find a bed as comfortable as the bed I had in Herald Square.
The other thing I found unique at the Herald Square was the amount of great artwork they had throughout the halls and in the rooms. All artwork looked original and had a great old-school New York feel.
Five-Stars all the way!
Herald Square Hotel - Perfect! – Loved this quaint affordable hotel within walking distance of everything in Manhattan. Seriously! Stayed in one of the "new" (remodeled) rooms. Loved the queen-size brass bed with wonderful linens (this hotel just won the Citysearch "Best Comfy Bed in New York" award), the high ceilings, the flat screen TV, the spacious bathroom with rainspout shower (I wanted to stay in the shower forever), and the Aveda amenities. Free coffee and free New York Posts available in the lobby. And best of all, free wi-fi in all of the rooms! The comfy leather chairs in the front lobby overlooking the street are perfect to curl up in and read the Village Voice, also available here. A lot of value for your bucks!
champage taste on a beer budget – had a wonderful time here with my boyfriend - we stayed for a weekend. everything was clean and extremely nice. the staff was exceptionally friendly and very professional. marble bathrooms - nice linens and bedding - the overall ambiance of this hotel took me by surprise b/c we did not pay an overwhelming amount to stay here. it was reasonably priced in a superb location. we will absolutely be back again! thank you herald square hotel for making our weekend in manhattan seamless.
A Hidden NYC Gem! – When I am in Paris, I stay in the 6eme arrondissement and surround myself in a neighborhood rich with Bohemian Parisian artistic culture that provides a quaint feel. When I travel to New York City, I look for the same quaint feel but I want the New York City vibe and culture. We all know how expensive the city that never sleeps can be and how much there is to see and do. So when I stay in this great metropolis, I want to be able to access New York City but on a respectable budget. And I always seem to find myself at the same location, The Herald Square Hotel. What a fantastic little gem! The accommodations are outstanding, the staff is welcoming, the location is superb (only a few blocks from Penn Station and the subway) and if I really get lazy and don't want to head too far but I feel like taking in some New York energy, there is a trendy and very New York type of restaurant-cafe next-door. On my next trip up to New York City, I will stay at the same location. I highly recommend it!
Great Life and Times at the Herald Square Hotel! – We stayed at the Herald Square Hotel in New York City recently, and loved it! The hotel is convenient to everything, only a few safe walking blocks away from Madison Square Garden and Times Square. It's a very classically styled place. We traveled with a friend who stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms, done over in the period style of the historical significance of the hotel, and just beautifully restored. But our room was also wonderful. There is definitely a feel to the building that you are in the place where Time and Life magazines were done. The hotel has pictures of from the covers of the magazines that used to be created there hanging in the narrow hallways. The marble circular stairs bring you into the halls at each floor but yes, there is an elevator too! While there is no restaurant or room service, the breakfast area in the lobby has coffee, tea and hot chocolate available, and there are a couple of places very close by, including a wine bar next door, a market just down the street with great bagels, and a Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins just up the street. The lobby is small, but once you enter your room you forget about that and you just enjoy being there. The towels were thick and bed linens were elegant, white comforters, crisp sheets and classic cotton blankets. The bathroom was grand, and the mattresses and pillows were top of the line. Flat screen big TVs and free high speed internet service were in both rooms. It's a great place to stay!
Excellent Hotel and Location – I stayed at the Herald Square Hotel for the Westmister Dog Show I was there for 4 days the staff was excellent and very friendly. My room was spacious and very clean. The bedding was very comfortable and warm. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends it is very reasonable and so very close to anywhere you wanted to go. I will be back next year that is for sure.

WOAH, if you missed the pre-fight press conference staredown between Silva vs. Sonnen, check it out here
The beef is real. Nothing has been fabricated -- and it's clear that Anderson Silva is enraged at Chael Sonnen. This is without a doubt the angriest we've ever seen Anderson Silva, and at today's pre-fight press conference in Las Vegas, both fighters nearly came to blows as they faced off. Is that even the right phrase, 'came to blows?' It sounds like it's drenched in sexual innuendo. Let's just say they aren't going to be inviting each other over for Thanksgiving dinner anytime soon. Granted, Brazil probably doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving.
Check out the soon-to-be legendary pre-fight press conference staredown and good luck trying to convince anyone on this site that this fight will go down the same as UFC 117.

Cary >Restaurants >
European >Hibernian Irish Pub & Restaurant
1144 Kildaire Farm Rd, Cary, NC | Directions 2751135.766388 -78.783377
11:00am - 2:00am daily
Went to Hibernian for their Tuesday $5 Burger deal and I was very impressed. The burger was good size, loaded with toppings, juicy and delicious! I was also impressed with the mixed drink, tasted good and not skimpy on the liquor. Best whiskey sour I've had I years. Highly recommend giving this place a try!
Awful, just awful. Poor atmosphere, creepy feel. Manager has no idea what he is doing and has an undeserved sense of pride. That's all I can really say, save your money and get double the drinks for half the price somewhere, anywhere else!!
Used to be Good but NOT anymore.... – This place USED to be awesome!! But not anymore :( I was so utterly disappointed with the changes to the menu (third time in the last 6 months) and food items that I will most likely not be back!! You got rid of raspberry bread pudding my favorite and usually determining factor for even coming to your restaurant in the first place, you also changed the shepherds pie another classic Irish meal so now its about on par with frozen microwave meals. Seriously why are you compromising soo much quality?! Also ordered nachos which now you are using the same meat as in the shepherds pie?? There's just something wrong with that picture...there should never be peas and carrots in nachos!! Completely and totally disappointing especially since it was for my Birthday! I will not be back unless I see some serious changes to this place, which sucks because it used to be one of my favorites. In an attempt to cut on their expenses (just a guess) they completely killed themselves. Bout the only good thing I can say after my last experience is that there bar is decent. But hardly a worthy restaurant anymore...can't help but wonder if they are under new management or something?!
Best kept secret in Cary!!! – I heard about the Hibernian downtown when I first moved here a couple years back. One of my friends told me there's a local Hibernian in Cary and I had to go check it out. Its hidden in plane sight with big gold letters spelling Hibernian on the front of it and I almost missed it. When I got in there it was like I left Cary and walked into Narnia. Old carved wooden bar with stained glass and every wall covered in old pictures and craft beer signs. I was home.
As I walked in and found a seat at the bar I was greeted by a nice young man tending the old bar. It seemed to me after a few moments that him and the other bartender knew almost everyone by name and I was amazed by how they all interacted.
There was an old man sitting at the end of the bar with his friends all talking and within half an hour I found myself immersed in great conversation with them.
When I didn't know what I wanted to drink, the bartender simply asked me my usual drink being beer or liquor. I replied simply beer and he came back with light or dark and I said usually dark but i'm open for options. Immediately he put out three taste tests for me and I landed my self with what he said was the #2 porter in the nation.
The cold porter and good atmosphere made me feel warm and welcome. When my stomach started growling I asked for a menu and was placed with supposedly "the new menu" since last week and again the tender asked me my food range with snacks, sandwiches or burgers. I said I was up for anything and he told me its a no fail mission going with the Reuben. Apparently the corn beef is cured in house and everything is from fresh local producers!!! I was sold and man O man was it tasty!!!
This was a wonderful first experience and I plan on going back to my little spot in the best kept secret in Cary!!
Great burger – Was n last week , and had the pub burger !
Wow , ground in hse , it was amazing !
I guess they are doing a new menu seemed to be a lot of new faces working there ,
Great service enjoyed it .
Hostess was a little blah , and left us waiting a bit ,
But other than that it was great .
Poorest service I have ever encountered--- twice – We went to their Sunday brunch. The buffet was mediocre at bet-- the food was Bly okay, it was usually cold, the took too long to bring out more when thy ran out, and they were often out of clean plates. The pub was by no means full or busy, so this seemed odd. Our server was M.I.A. And when we finally tracked her down to ask for the bill, it took her 20 minutes to get it back to us and another 15 to get us a credit card receipt. The second attempt went almost exactly the same way, also for a Sunday brunch. The only difference was our server was different...but the service was the same. Crappiest service ever. If the food was awesome, it MIGHT be worth putting up with it, but it wasn't great. I will never go back.
Mediocre – I'm not a beer drinker so I can only talk to the food, service and atmosphere.
Food: Only okay, and they brought the appetizers, salads and main entree all at the same time with no apologies. Guess that speaks to service. Place was not crowded at all for 5:30 on a Sat afternoon/evening.
Atmosphere was nice. I would only return here for drinks.
Great place for casual drinks – I've been several times, the bar staff is always polite and attentive, especially louie, marty, and toni - the live bands they have are phenomenal and the food is amazing! All around great place to be, I can dress up in heels or go in jeans and a t-shirt and feel comfortable either way

Why would she be teased? Because it's not a common name? I think it's a lovely name, with a common nickname if your daughter would like to blend in more, if you know what i mean.Hadewych Ebba Aurora

Someone has told me because of the instrument. The pee sound. The spelling of it maybe being pronounced ca lee oh pee

I love Calliope. Sure, there's teasing potential, but it's there in most names.
I think, more than a name, there are certain types of children who will be teased. It's not fair, but that's the way it is. I know two boys with classic, very common decent names who were teased constantly (including their names) because of who they were, and I know people with very out there names that could have easily been teased but never were.
I can almost guarantee there will be one child who notices the pee sound, and depending on how your child reacts, or how well liked they are, it will continue and possibly get worse, or it will just be a passing observation. I personally would go for it if it was the name that I loved above all others.Artemis Willow ☀ Cordelia Avalon ☀ Isabeau Forest ☀ Isadora Nightingale ☀ Lorelei Ondine ☀ Lyra Snow ☀ Pandora Everild ☀ Tabitha Eilonwy ☀ Thisbe Wildrose ☀ Thora Silmarien

Thanks Jax, always worth seeing how the great man did his stuff!
Looking for something else I happened across this map done by Leonardo Da Vinci of a town and I figured if it's never been posted here before you folks might want to check it out.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Thanks Jax, always worth seeing how the great man did his stuff!
Great find! *wanders away thinking about how cool a font LDV's mirror writing would be*
Very cool. Thanks for posting that Jax. And Gidde I think that a LDV font would be very nice indeed

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

Very neat! Is there a context why he chose Imola? I dont think he had any personal connection to it? Granted Im not a da Vinci expert though...

Britain's national broadcaster is in crisis over its bungled reporting of a child sex-abuse scandal. Its top executive has resigned, two more have temporarily stepped down and others are facing disciplinary proceedings.
Unsurprisingly, some of the BBC's 20,000 staff—including well-known personalities—have taken to social media to discuss its woes.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Tuesday that Fran Unsworth, the newly appointed head of BBC News, had sent an email urging staff to pull together and advising that "it would be helpful if some of our problems were not played out publicly across social media and in the pages of the national press."
The BBC confirmed that Unsworth "did send an email of that nature."
The missive from Unsworth came as Norfolk police said a former BBC radio presenter has been charged with 18 sexual offenses against children.
Police said Michael Souter—who formerly worked for BBC Radio Norfolk—was charged with the offenses against boys, which allegedly took place between 1979 and 1999 in Norfolk.
Souter, 59, also was charged with an offense against a man and another against a woman, police added.
Souter's website says he spent nine years at the BBC producing and presenting programs for radio and TV. In 1989, he set up his own media relations consultancy, according to the website.
Police said he will appear in court on Nov. 30 to face the charges.

The RTC Ride, Rapid and Intercity transportation systems will be giving free rides today for passengers heading to vote or looking to try out the public transportation system. Michael Moreno, public information officer for the RTC, said the program is designed to show people the benefits of using public transportation.
"A lot of people don't have transportation to get to the polls and we are offering people free rides because right now gas is so expensive," Moreno said. "It saves people gas money, wear and tear on their vehicles and it also saves the environment and preserves the quality of life here by reducing congestion."
Moreno said this is the first time free rides have been given on Election Day, but not the first time the RTC has offered the public a chance to try its service for free. In June the RTC participated in Dump the Pump Day offering free transit and saw about 33,000 people riding RTC buses, which Moreno said was a record for ridership in a single day. In offering free transit, Moreno said a boost of more than 10,000 people used the RTC services.
"We want people to really look at public transportation because it is a great benefit for our community. It does great things for us and it does help out your pocketbook," Moreno said adding that people who try public transportation on free days are often surprised. "What people will probably be most surprised by is public transportation is safe, convenient, and gives people the chance to not worry about spending money on gas or parking hassles."
Moreno said the RTC is continually looking for ways to inform the community of its services, which may lead to more free riding days in the future. He said these events help raise awareness for the public, which ultimately shows in the number of riders using the system.
The Sparks Centennial Plaza, which opened on Victorian Avenue in 2008, has not experienced the amount of ridership the RTC projected, according to Moreno. He said the amount of passengers coming through the Centennial Plaza will likely increase as the economy continues to turn.
"With the economic recession we have experienced, the Sparks Centennial Plaza is not seeing the growth that we had projected, but as the economy turns around we anticipate that we see more growth in the Sparks area," he said. "Once people give it a try they will understand what it is all about. People are not going to ride the bus every day, but they might ride it a couple times a month or a week. The economics of riding a bus is big for an individual."
Moreno said the public transportation system is an intricate part of the local economy. He said some people don't realize how often people rely on it, which gives the RTC reason to hold free transit days.
"Public transportation supports economic development and it supports jobs. A lot of people rely on the bus system to get to and from work. Over 50 percent of our rides on RTC Ride are for people going to and from work," he said. "The relationship between economic development and public transportation is a significant one and it is one we really want to bring focus to in the community."
